How do I start yoga online as a complete beginner?
To start yoga online from scratch you need very little: a mat (or a thick towel), comfortable clothes, 2x2 meters of clear floor, and a beginner class — ideally live, so the teacher can correct you. You don’t need to be flexible, thin or experienced: yoga is learned by doing, and the first class is exactly for that. The best way in is a free trial class with a teacher who speaks your language.
What you need for your first class
Mat: ideal, but a thick towel or carpet works at first.
Space: 2x2 meters of clear floor is enough to stretch your arms and lie down.
Comfortable, stretchy clothes and a quiet spot. That’s it.
Live or recorded for a beginner?
Live is better when you’re starting: the teacher sees you and corrects your posture, preventing bad habits and injury.
Recorded classes are good to complement on days without a live class, once you’ve got the basics.
Common beginner mistakes
Trying to do the "perfect" pose on day one — yoga is progress, not performance.
Comparing yourself to the teacher or to videos. Every body has its own timeline.
Quitting in the first week. Results come from consistency, not intensity.

Do I need to be flexible to start yoga?
No. Flexibility is a result of practice, not a prerequisite. You start where you are and improve over time.
Does online yoga work for someone who has never practiced?
Yes, especially with a live class where the teacher corrects your posture. Start in a beginner group and mention it’s your first time.
How much do I need to practice per day?
15 to 30 minutes already brings benefits for beginners. Consistency (3–4 times a week) matters more than long, occasional sessions.
Can I get injured doing yoga at home?
The risk is low if you respect your limits and follow a teacher. A live class lowers it further, because the teacher corrects wrong postures.
